Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium)
Little Bluestem is a very ornamental bunchgrass with fine-textured foliage that forms very dense mounds 18-24 inches tall. Slender blue-green stems often reach 3-4 feet, or more, by September, and become radiant mahogany-red with white, shining seed tufts in the fall. Color remains nearly all winter. Perennial clumps grow up to a foot in diameter. The seeds, fuzzy white at maturity, are of particular value to small birds in winter.
This plant is in a 1 gallon container.
Light: sun, part shade
Water: low
